Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - First published in 2011, Maritime Heritage of Lakshadweep and Minicoy Islands offers an in-depth exploration of the maritime traditions and cultural legacy of these small coral islands, located approximately 250-300 kilometres west of Kerala's coast. Of the numerous islands, only ten have been inhabited since medieval times, preserving their unique traditions, boat designs, and way of life. The islands are surrounded by shallow lagoons and reef edges, with landscapes dominated by palm trees. The southernmost island of Minicoy stands apart geographically from the rest of the group.The islanders have exceptional seafaring skills and connections to both the eastern and western coasts of India. While their heritage is predominantly local, it also incorporates influences from the mainland, enabling them to resist external forces such as the Siddi and European trading powers for over 150 years. The book delves into the distinctive boat forms, limited in size and draught due to the shallow lagoon depths, and examines how the islands' insularity has helped preserve their age-old traditions. This book is ideal for maritime historians, anthropologists, cultural heritage enthusiasts, and anyone interested in the unique traditions of island communities. It will also appeal to scholars studying the intersection of geography, history, and culture, as well as readers fascinated by the maritime history of India and the Indian Ocean region.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Since the days of the Indus Valley Civilization, coastal regions along the Indian shores have been deeply engaged in maritime activities. Early watercraft used on the seas included reed boats, various types of floats, and the uniquely distinctive 'kattumarans,' crafted by tying logs together. While these were simple wash-afloat vessels, more advanced boats based on the principle of air displacement emerged, such as dugouts and pseudo-dugouts. Over time, plank-built boats came into use. Initially keel-less, these boats evolved into sturdy keeled vessels as their size increased, enabling them to navigate sea waters more effectively.The design and form of these boats varied regionally across different segments of the coast. Early on, planks were stitched together firmly, but in the last few centuries, nailed construction replaced stitching. Sails were introduced early, and steering mechanisms, such as outriggers and balance boards, were employed to manoeuvre the boats when needed. The choice of timber varied by region, influenced by its quality, durability, and strength to withstand the challenges of saline sea water. Over time, the boats grew in size, and by 1500 AD, Indian vessels reached impressive capacities of 1,000 tons or more. Some boats featured double-ended designs, while others had square, rounded, or transom sterns. Many were open-decked, but some included decks and cabins to accommodate passengers.The intricacy of these boats' designs and forms reflected the remarkable skills and expertise of master carpenters. What is particularly fascinating is that these master builders relied entirely on inherited wisdom and their own craftsmanship, without any drawn plans or formal architectural designs. First published in 2009, Indian Boat Designs and Forms brings together this rich knowledge of boat designs and forms, gathered through extensive fieldwork and supplemented by earlier writings. This book is an essential read for those interested in the evolution of maritime technology and the enduring legacy of Indian boat-building traditions.…
